Charleston Market

March 5th, 2007 · No Comments

Despite what many people have called it, the market, which runs down the middle of Market Street, was never a slave market.

The oiriginal market building was used to sell meat and produce and opened in 1841. Today, one of the four buildings serves a similar purpose, while two others have more of an upscale flea market appearance. The front, original building houses several nice shops and a restaurant.

Market street is now a hub of tourist activity in Charleston, and should definitely be near the top of your plans.
